Establishing a Bluetooth connection
Proceed as follows to pair a data collector and the
Com box for data transfer via Bluetooth:
Switch on the data collector.
Make sure that Bluetooth transmission is
enabled on the data collector.
Launch the VKP 42 app.
Switch on the Com box.
Tap the “Menu” button.
Select the “Bluetooth” submenu.
The “Pair VKPC” submenu opens.
To find Bluetooth sources within receiving
range, tap “Start Bluetooth scan”.
“Finding VKPC…” appears on the display. The data
collector searches for Bluetooth sources within
receiving range.
When the search is over, Com boxes are displayed
with their name and serial number. The name of the
Com box is always “VKPxyz”. The serial number
“xyz” is the same as that shown on the name plate
of the Com box.
To pair the data collector with the desired Com
box, tap the relevant Com box entry.
You can only produce a data connection
between the Com box and one data
collector.
Tap “Continue”.
You will be asked to enter a password. The Com
box password is either “1234” or “0000”.
Enter the password as described in the data
collector Installation & Operating Manual.
The two devices are paired. “Connected VKP” and
the Com box type and serial number appear on the
display. The charge status of the Com box is
displayed.
If an error occurs during pairing, the message
“Pairing error!” is displayed.
In this case, repeat the pairing process for the
two devices.
